Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Dairy

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Oils & Seasonings

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the vegetables and baking the feta and eggs.
  2. Prepare Ingredients for Individual Serving: If using ramekins or individual dishes, divide the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese evenly among four oven-safe dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each dish.
  3. Prepare Ingredients for One Large Dish: If using one large baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta cheese in the center. Drizzle all the olive oil over the mixture.
  4. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to evenly blend the spices.
  5. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the feta and vegetable mixture. If making individual servings, divide the spice mix equally among the four dishes.
  6. Bake Vegetables and Feta: Place the prepared dishes on a baking sheet if using ramekins, or directly put the large baking dish into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and the feta to soften and begin to melt.
  7. Stir in Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and carefully stir the vegetables and feta together to combine them evenly. Then add the chopped baby spinach and mix until the spinach is incorporated.
  8. Add Eggs: Create a small well in the center of each individual dish or four wells in the large baking dish. Crack one egg into each well, taking care not to break the yolk.
  9. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
  10. Add Fresh Herbs: Remove from the oven and top with optional chopped fresh basil or chives for added freshness and flavor.
  11. Serve: Serve the baked feta eggs warm with crusty baguette, toasted bread, or pita on the side for dipping and soaking up the flavorful juices.

Notes

  • You can use individual ramekins for personalized servings or one large baking dish for a shared meal.
  • Adjust the baking time slightly if you prefer firmer or softer egg yolks.
  • Spinach can be substituted with other leafy greens like kale or arugula if desired.
  • Serve with crusty bread or pita for the perfect texture contrast and to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes according to your taste.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with a light salad or fresh fruit on the side.
